A little quiz I thought up during lunch on day two of the fifth Ashes test. Totally unrelated to the cricket.

Eight station three letter codes to find. And what's the 'hidden' station?

1. Oriental Chairman.
2. Does this station flow too?
3. Norman Stanley Fletcher, for example.
4. Scottish knowledge.
5. Who dares wins.
6. Charm.
7. Easy as 1,2,3.
8. S W M B O

Feel free to answer, one, two, all...

Let's see who gets the lot first.
